Did the mod years ago and sold the guitar. I would like to do it again. I have 2 extra yamaha switches in my tickle trunk. I can't seem to find the layout?

col- Is that diagram the same as the original T-riffic? It has been so many years since I saw it I don't recall the details. Either way, thanks for chiming in on this. Swingarm- The original Guitarnuts site, where the T-riffic diagram was originally posted, was hacked years ago, but it remained semi-operable if one could sort through all the hacked nonsense. Ultimately, John Atchley took it down a couple of years ago. While this site is a "spin off" of the original guitarnuts site, JA was never a member here, and we had no coordination with the original site. We have archived as much of the material from the original site as we could find, but the T-riffic diagram wasn't one we managed to save. And, the threads here wherein the T-riffic scheme was discussed now display broken links to the diagram, either because the poster linked to the image from the original, now defunct, site, or because of our own issues with losing images. If any member has an archived copy of the diagram somewhere, we should hopefully hear from that person soon . . .  |

No the original t-riffic diagram used a yamaha 5 way switch. I have two of them.

At the time of posting, I had no idea. It was difficult to tell from the thread itself. It was the only relevant image I could find. But I now see from swingarm's reply that it is not correct circuit. |

TDPRI might also be a possible resource. I took a quick look and found no actual diagrams that were claimed to be the T-riffic, though there is more than a fair amount of discussion, and lots of "side trips" to other designs. But like I said, a more in-depth search might find it.

The good mod t-riffic seems to have sunk beneath the inter-waves, sadly.
But if we at least record what it did, we can re-invent it. I found this description on Project Guitar, quoting from GN before it went diwn:
". On the site it says the switch should work as follows. Position 1 - Neck, Pos 2 - Neck & Bridge out of phase, Pos 3 - N & B in parallel, Pos 4 N & B in series, Pos 5 - Bridge. "
Not too hard with a superswitch.

.... Not too hard with a superswitch. That was the original point - from a logical standpoint, this is easy-peasy. However, due to Leo's stinginess in hogging out enough wood to easily fit a Superswitch (he didn't), the Yamaha unit was found to "fit the bill", and the T-riffic's wiring diagram was for that particular component. That's what swingy wants, a wiring diagram that deals with that specific part. However.....
swingarm, John's correct in that we can solve the logic portion of the puzzle in a heartbeat. But where you're used to thinking that a Yamaha switch is mandatory, that's no longer true. Oak/Grigsby (and clones thereof) makes a thinner version of the Superswitch that is designed to fit into a Tele's control compartment. Snug, to be sure, but no additional wood-hogging should be necessary. Check it out! HTH sumgai |

And, if we design a circuit for the Superswitch that mimics the T-riffic functioning, we can then easily translate it to the Yamaha switch if you post the Yamaha switch logic, derived via multimeter, from your existing Yamaha switches. It then becomes a fairly trivial exercise to correlata the two diagrams.
